Tbf in some cultures its rude not to initially decline and say, "no its too much", or imply your not worthy of that much.

I've not found temperature to be as big an issue as snow and ice. You can always layer for the weather, but if the bike infrastructure isn't clear that's where things go south for me.

Looks like it might be India? It used to be that everyone had them folded in because they would get snapped off in traffic. Also the noise from horns is loud AF. Still not great, but context matters.

I doubt all 4500 homeless people that still sleep outside in the UK all refused shelter, but the UK gives temporary housing far better than the USA.

On my bike to work I pass a few homeless encampments and they aren't even the biggest ones in my city. Homeless people lack basic nutrition, adequate medical care, safety, housing, etc. They are by definition not meeting basic needs.

"I'm fine, so everyone else must be". Most privileged take in human history.

No need to play the "when you compare the two you lessen the atrocities done by Nazi Germany" game.

No you are lessening the atrocities done by Israel. 80,000 is a massive number. Putting it against the largest genocide of the last hundred years is minimizing what Israel has done... I still think comparing the two is tasteless anyway because antisemites equate Israel with all Jews and salivate at the comparison.

Is tiptoeing around an issue that could strip your power to protect trans people transphobic now? Its politics, we all know how he has already voted, but he has to get elected in dumfuckistan. I swear the left is more interested in moral purity than actually making peoples lives better.

All of our middle eastern direct deaths combined are under 1 million. But even a single death in war is horrific.

There is no need to compare suffering. If anything comparing against an outsized disaster like WW2 only serves to minimize how horrific all of these present day wars are, even if the death tolls are smaller. I think people get some weird perversion in comparing Israel to Nazis, its just weird, imo. Highlight the actual horror that is happening today.

Nazis killed 13 million people in WW2, Israel killed 80,000 in this war. I think most people here can agree Israel is historically evil, but let's not play genocide Olympics with Nazis, not a good look.

"This guy agrees with me on 1000 different issues and even agrees with me on the 1001st, but he slightly soft peddled it for political expediency so I don't care". We don't deserve democracy...

I looked it up and they gave emails away to boost other projects and when this project started asked for them not to be included in crypto advertising. None of his subscribers ever received emails through his list for crypto due to this request.
